●Additional output
Either for dimming (up to 500 W), switching (up to 3.5 kW) or regulating the
sauna room temperature via the additional output.
The additional output has no excess temperature fuse. For this reason, only
intrinsically safe devices should be operated using the additional output.
– If infrared heaters are connected to the additional output, these must
have an excess temperature fuse. We recommend using the following
infrared lamps:
●DIR-350-R, WIR-350-R, DIR-500-R, WIR-500-R, DIR-750-R,
WIR-750-R, DIR-1300-R, WIR-1300-R
●ECO-350-R, ECO-350-G, ECO-500-R, ECO-500-G, ECO-750-R
– If one of the following infrared heat plates is connected to an additional
output, the foil sensor P-ISX-FF must be used, and must be activated
in the technician menu (see 8.2. Settings in the technician menu on
page 26):
●IR-WP-100, IR-WP-175, IR-WP-390, IR-WP-510
●IR-WPHL-100, IR-WPHL-175, IR-WPHL-390, IR-WPHL-510
●User program
The user program enables favourite sauna settings to be saved and accessed
again. There are 5 preset user programs available which can be modied
according to user requirements.
●Automatic heating period limiter
The sauna control unit shuts down automatically after the maximum heating
period for safety reasons. The maximum heating period can be set to 6 h,
12 h, 18 h or 24 h.
●Excess temperature fuse
The excess temperature fuse is installed in the housing for the heater sen-
sor. Should the sauna heater continue heating after reaching the preferred
temperature due to a defect, the excess temperature fuse switches the sauna
heater off at a temperature of approx. 139 °C.

Instructions for installation and use p. 11/48
3.4. Sensor operating modes
The sauna control unit can be operated with one or two temperature sensors.
Single-sensor mode (F1)
Single-sensor mode must be activated in the technician menu (see 8.2. Settings
in the technician menu on page 26).
In single-sensor mode, the sauna control unit is operated with the heater sensor
with excess temperature fuse (F1) only.
In single-sensor mode, the sauna control unit only displays the set temperature
as standard. The actual temperature is not displayed. Should the sauna control
unit display the temperature above the heater (F1) as an actual temperature in
single-sensor mode, it must be activated when starting up for the rst time (see
8.2. Settings in the technician menu on page 26)
Two-sensor mode with bench sensor (F2)
In two-sensor mode with bench sensor, a second temperature sensor (bench
sensor) is installed above the rear sauna bench. The sauna control unit displays
the temperature measured by the bench sensor as the actual temperature.

●When a silicon wire resistant to temperatures up to 150 °C is used.
●The minimum cross-section of the wire is 0.5 mm2.
●The length of the heater sensor wires may NOT exceed 10 m.
ATTENTION!
Sources of interference can have a negative effect on signal transmission
●Lay all sensor wires separately from other mains wires and control wires.
●Protect wires with only one layer of insulation by using a pipe (double insulation).
